Analysts suggest this shift could indicate that BTC and the wider crypto market are approaching a bear cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A weekly report from CryptoQuant notes that network participants have not experienced such a negative turn in profit trends since October 2023. Over the past 30 days, realized net profits have turned into losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report highlights that since December 23, Bitcoin holders have realized losses totaling approximately 69,000 BTC. Realized profits have been declining since March 2024, coinciding with the slowdown at the end of the recent bull phase. Analysts see parallels with the 2021-2022 bull cycle, when net profits peaked in January 2021 and gradually declined over the year, eventually turning negative despite higher prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A similar pattern emerged in 2024, with realized profits reaching a peak in January and then forming lower peaks in December 2024, July 2025, and October 2025. Now, Bitcoin holders are seeing net losses, marking a negative shift in profit dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most on-chain metrics suggest that the market is entering the early stages of a bear cycle. While recent reports noted slight improvements in Bitcoin demand, these changes have not been significant. Demand from exchange-traded funds and spot markets has remained largely unchanged, with overall activity contracting over the past month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time in over two years, Bitcoin holders are facing losses on their investments.
